Nikki, Rhea, this Tag Team has been one of the most unexpected stories of 2021.
I understand you wanna make an announcement.
>> That right.
>> We
do.
>> We especially challenge Queen Selena and Carmela to a rematch for
the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Nikki that's not what we talked about.
>> No.
>> No that's not what we talk about.
I thought we're coming out here to talk about the Royal Rumble.
>> Well, it doesn't seem like you're on the same page.
There has been some speculation about the future of your tag team.
Do you feel like this partnership has run its course?
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Sarah,
we've had our ups and downs but- >> No,
what Rhea is trying to say as of course her hasn't.
>> [NOISE] >> Actually Nikki, if you would have
let me finish, >> [NOISE]
>> Let's not talk about this out here,
all right?
>> You think that is for breaking us up?
>> Nikki we've had a great run but I think it's time for us to go our separate ways,.
>> But teaming together brought out the best in both of us.
>> Yeah, you're probably right but I'm just I'm ready to go and get-
>> Is it about the titles?
Don't worry about the Tag Team titles.
We'll get them back and then when we do, we'll show everyone why we're so
great together.
>> It's not about the titles, Nikki.
>> Did it ever occur to you that was the one doing you the favor by
staying in this partnership?
I stayed by your side because that's what friends do.
They stay together through thick and thin,
even when one is better in the ring than the other.
>> Nikki, I never said that I was better in the ring than you either.
>> I was talking about me.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> But
it's really nice to know where your head's at.
>> You know what?
I don't like where this is heading.
So I'm out.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> So, you're just gonna walk out?
You're just gonna walk out on me then?
Okay go, walk out.
>> No, but you're making me feel really uncomfortable right now.
So for now, Nikki, let's say goodbye.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Fine,
you don't wanna be my teammate anymore, fine.
>> But I can't shake your hand until you look me in the eye and
tell me that you still believe in me.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Nikki,
I have always believed in you and I always will.
But the thing that I love is that you believe that you are almost a superhero.
So whether it's with me or without me, I really hope that you don't stop
believing in yourself and I really hope that we can be friends.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Do you mean, can we still be friends?
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> No Nikki no.
>> Yes.
Nikki A.S.H just went after Rhea Ripley, are you kidding me?
>> This is shame, this is areal shame.
>> I like this, listen, in this business either make friends and you make money.
>> I get the weeks off of all the emotional frustration but
this is not the right move Nikki.
>> It might be exactly what Nikki needs to get her career back on track.
>> Watch it before the Royal Rumble.
>> That's every woman for her self.
>> Only superheroes don't need any friends.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Now then you've heard from Rhea Ripley.
>> The definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and
over and expecting a different result.
Nikki A.S.H just changed things up in a big, big way.
>> What in the world?
